[pmwiki-users] Noobie Qs

[Neil Herber]

Doug

As a relative newbie myself, I think I can safely say that you can post any 
kind of question here. One of the problems I had initially was finding 
existing documentation because it was "hidden" in spots where I did not 
expect to find it. If enough newbies mention that topic "X" would be easier 
to find if it was in group "Y" or called something else, that can only help 
to improve the documentation.

As for things being difficult, PmWiki is dead simple as long as you don't 
start fooling around with PHP code, something that most admins would never 
have to do. I looked at about 8 different wikis before settling on PmWiki 
as the best combination of ease of use and power. I have documented some of 
my comments here: http://neil.eton.ca/wiki/index.php/Main/WikiEngines . 
Note that these are my personal comments, based on my specific needs.
